Abstract:

Prochloraz is an endocrine disruptor pesticide, and its environmental residues have a great impact on human health. Through the study of the effects of different doses of prochloraz on the reproductive system of offspring mice, we can evaluate the effects of its residues on human health. The results showed that the heat map of gene expression cluster analysis of high concentration group (MD), low concentration group (MB) and control group (MA) had good inter-group difference and high intra-group repeatability, which laid a foundation for further analysis. The subsequent analysis of gene ontology (GO) and metabolic pathway showed that prochloraz mainly involves the functions and pathways related to the reproductive system (such as neuropeptide hormone regulatory signal pathway, immune response, antigen processing and presentation, prostaglandin biosynthesis, etc.). In conclusion, it can be seen that prochloraz has a certain reproductive toxicological effect on offspring male mice.

Key words: prochloraz, reproductive toxicology, mouse, estrogenic pesticide
